HELP: Fifth Generation Ipod corruption Problem!

Hi all,
I have used my fifth generation 30gb ipod for nearly three years now, and
had no problem. But yesterday I was using it to as a remote hard disk to
transfer some of my data between two computers. Suddenly my ipod could not
find all the files and all my songs, and the available space has been reset
to full space. Is there any way I can get all my songs back from my ipod,
because I do not have all the songs in my new computer and I do not have my
old one. Thank you.
I lost 5000+ songs, and I am seriously ****** off. arhhhhh!!!

That's usually a pretty good indication that the headphone jack needs replacing, especially if a different set of earbuds didn't resolve the issue, or the 5 R's of troubleshooting that would rule out a software issue. Apple may still be able to swap it out for you for a flat fee, but you'll have to ask. See here for pricing.

There are still numerous third party services out there that can swap out the actual headphone jack as well for smaller fee. Google for "iPod headphone jack repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

3. OS (always burn win -> win, Linux -> Linux,
etc)
I never worry about that. I've burned in Linux and
Windows and taken it across many operating systems
with no problem. One thing to make sure is to
finalize the disc. Some operating systems don't like
the way other apps/operating systems handle
multisession CDs.I mentioned that exclusively in regards of RHEL/OEL's mediacheck test. Nothing else. It doesn't mean that CD itself is invalid and that installation will be impossible. Whenever you burn RHEL ISO images in windows using Nero 6/7, specially at 12x speed, you can expect 2-3 CDs (out of 5) to be "suspicious" and they don't pass mediacheck test. Whenever you burn in Linux using cdrecord at 12x speed, you can expect 1 CD (out of 100) to be "suspicious". That's my experience.

My fifth generation ipod nano wont show up on itunes... please help!

I've had my fifth generation ipod nano for about five months now. Nothing has gone wrong with it. the ipod would show up on itunes with no problem. But today i plugged it in to my computer, itunes popped up as usual, but then another pop up came:an ipod has been detected but could not be itentified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the ipod, then try again.
I unplugged and plugged my ipod several times, but nothing was fixed. I even changed the cable and did the same, but still, nothing happened. I tried resetting my ipod and then plugging it in, but nothing was fixed. then i put the ipod on disk mode and THEN tried to see if it would show up, but it still wasnt fixed.
I really need my ipod to show up on itunes!can anyone help?

Canned response, so some of the below stuff you already tried, so ignore those ones...

Why doesn't my fifth generation ipod nano work with my Toyota Yaris?

Hello – The charging feature on my new fifth generation ipod nano doesn’t work with the factory glove compartment adapter that came with my 2008 Toyota Yaris. It plays music, etc but does not charge the ipod when connected.
My third generation nano charged perfectly with my yaris until it was run over and crushed recently. My nano gen 5 replacement doesn’t work the same with my Yaris. Can anyone help?

I cannot say for sure, I don't know anything about the toyota yaris. However, if that system was built to work with older firewire based iPods, then it will not charge new USB based units. There are converters out there you can get do deal with this.

Is it possible to just simply sync videos to Fifth generation ipod?

First of all I am new with the ipod, and I am not familiar with this certain issues regarding videos on the ipod"
My question is that do you have to watch videos or TV shows that you download on itunes? Or can you just simply automatically sync the video or TV show to your Fifth Generation ipod without viewing the content my itunes librairy?
Thank who all that can help me.

I guss I'm not being clear, but here it goes again....
I click buy on the iTunes Store
It asks for my user name and password
Then it downloads my vid or what not
Then I sync my iPod
As far as I knew this was standered practice, in other words if you aready have on the computer you bought it on then you don't need to authorize it again unless you trasfer it to another computer.
Right?!?!
P.S. assuming you agree with me and every one else that buys from iTunes then yes you did say you need to authorize media twice.
The bottom line is that you must authorize your computer in order to transfer purchased videos and music to the iPod.
To do this you need to play a part of the video on your computer. It need only be a few seconds of it.
You can authorize up to 5 different computers.
If you cannot play any purchased videos on a computer, you cannot authorize it.
Authorize when you buy it then as above play it on your computer to authorize it!!!!

Applications crashing on fifth generation iPod Touch?

Hello everyone. I have a fifth generation iPod Touch that I got last month and every time I use some of the applications, they end up crashing on me, almost every time. The Weather Channel is one of the programs that frequently crashes. Why is it doing this? I have also checked for an operating system update for the device and there is not one. What could be the problem?

How can I get cover flow to work on a fifth generation Ipod classic

I have a fifth generation Ipod. Is there any way I can get cover flow or something similar? When I'm browsing through my music, I want to be able to see the album cover, rather than just the album title.
Thank youl

Not possible.

What exactly is the fifth generation iPod?

I currently own an iPod mini and am thinking of upgrading. What exactly is the fifth generation iPod and what special features does it have?

Searching option in my Fifth Generation iPod

Dear users,
I've been updated my fifth generation iPod to the latest firmware (ver. 1.3) but still doesn't have searching feature by selecting alphabets!
But other fifth gen. iPods have this feature!

Only the late 2006 5th gen iPods support the search feature. My 5th gen (bought when they first came out) is one of the earlier ones that doesn't support the search. There is no software update that will enable the search feature in the early 5th gens.

Transfer files from 10.2.8 to Windows fifth generation ipod

Can anyone tell me how to get my music and photos from my ibook 10.2.8 onto my new fifth generation ipod that is formatted for windows? And from there, get it to my pc?
Thanks

Your iPod will have to be formatted to Windows throughout the entire process. What you'll have to do is put your music on your iPod via your Mac. Then, connect it your PC, and use either one of the following programs to rip files from your iPod...
PodUtil
YamiPod
Both will rip files from your iPod, and place them in a specified folder on your computer.

When will it be avaliable for fifth generation ipods?

I Cant believe this is only for iposd nano, does anybody no when it will be compatable with the fifth generation ipods?

it would take much more than 1000-2000 signatures. this would cost apple money to write the software and whatnot to get it to work on the other iPods so they're not gonna do for such a small amount of people.

Charging Fifth Generation iPod

Simple question.
After updating iPod through USB, is the correct procedure to eject iPod and turn it off so that the "charging" symbol appears? Or ejecting it and just letting it plugged in? How about just letting it connected after updating? It seems, in my first month that it seems to charge more completely if I eject it and turn it off and let it connected overnight so that the "plug" is shown in the morning.

It doesn't matter. Either way, it's eventually going to turn off, if you don't touch it.

1st Generation iPod Touch Problems: First freezes, then no music

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else have had this problem.
My first generation iPod touch's screen stops working, but is responsive and the button and works, but since I need to slide it, I wasn't able to use it. When I plugged in my headphones, it fritzes. So I restored it to factory settings and everything is fine until I try to play music. I would click on any song, even the shuffle button, it would show that it would play, but suddenly stops and goes back to the song menu. I tried restoring a few times, but it still won't work. On top of that, when I leave it alone for a minute, it dies unexpectedly. It's been 2 and a half years since I got it. Anyone?

I have the exact same situation! My friend and I both have first generation iPod touches. My friends is 3 years old, however my iPod touch is only 1 year old because I got a new one because my last broke, still 1g. My friend was caught in the rain and got very wet once, and since then his iPod touch wifi hasn't worked. My iPod touch on the other hand has been very well looked after in a switch easy case.
My wifi used to work perfectly, until around september of last year my wifi stopped working. It searches for half a second, like it usually does when it knows there aren't anywhere networks near, and if I am really close to a router it will have 1 bar, but say unable to connect and always ask for password.
However today I had a breakthrough, even tho I haven't used my iPod in a while, I tried searching for wifi today and it worked perfectly, like brand new, I was really excited, I could even get full signal at the bus stop outside my house. 4 hours later, and it was back to square one, exactly the same symptoms as before. iPad and laptop are perfect as usual, my iPod has never been wet and I take great care of it. I don't think iOS has a big difference, as my friend is running like 1.? And I'm running 3.1.? The latest software. I've resetted many times, but no success. I'm going to call apple but please help incase they don't know.

Fifth Generation iPod won't update music

My new fifth generation 30gb iPod refuses to be updated. It worked fine until I transfered a few photos onto it and now unless I have the "synchronise photos from" check box checked, I no longer have the option to update. When I have the box checked it only updates for photos. I have restored it once so far with the same problem returning as soon as I transfer photos. Any clues on how to sort this would be appreciated.

My 30GB ipod wont update music videos. I bought a
couple of music videos from the itunes store and
after they downloaded I connected my ipod to my emac
and a error message popped up and said that the
videos werent the right format. What is the right
format and how do I go about changing it??? What do I
do?
Does the message say that the files cannot be updated to the iPod because they cannot be played on the iPod?
Go into the "music" tab on the iPod settings, make sure the option that says "include music videos" is checked (if you had to check it, click "apply")
You could try selecting the file in iTunes, and then clicking File > Get Info. See if all the Summary tab information is missing. If it is, something might have happened during the download. You might want to go into your purchase history and report a problem with it. In most cases, iTunes will let you redownload the file.
The problem is, everything downloaded from the iTunes Store is a protected file, so I don't think anything is going to let you convert it. Protected files usually can't be converted...
